 That we may emphasize and clearly explain the re!ation.t e kidneys sustain to the general health, and how much is depend9nt upon them, we propose, met aphorical!y speaking, to take one from the human body, place in the wash howl before us, and examine it for the public benefit.
 You will imagine that we have before us body shaped like bean, smooth and glistening, about four inches in length, two in width and one in thick ness. It ordinarily weighs in the adult male about five ounces, but is somewhat lighter in the female. A small organ? you say. But understand, the body of the average size man contains about ,sn quarts Of JioCd, Qf 'Ctich erery drop passes through taeSe fi.ers or segers, as they may be called, mGGy times dCy, as often as tn, heart, making a complete revolution in three mjI1U!es. From the blood they separate the waste material, working away steadily night and day, sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart itself, an l fully of as much importance; removing impurities rom siXty-tiye gal Ions of dj9Od each hc0r, or about forty nine barrels each day, or g, 9,l25 hogs heads year! What wonder that the kidneys can last any length of time under this prodigioue strain, treated and neglected as they are?
 We slice this delicate organ open lengthwise with our knife and will rough ly describe it's interior
 We find it to be of q reddish-brown color, sott and easily torn, filled with hundreds of little tubes, short and threAd-iike, starring from the arteries, | ending i'll little tut about midway from ! the outside opening of cavity of con | siderable size, which is called the pelyis, or, roughly speaking, d sack, which is | for the purpose of holding the water to | further undergo purilicDtjon before it passes down from heIe into the ureters, and so on to tho outside of the body. 1 These little tubes are the filters which do their work automatically, and right here is Where hc disease of the Kidney Jtrst | beCias.
 Doing the vast amount of work which they are obliged 10, from the slightest irregularity in our habits, from cold, from high living, from stimulants or 8 thousand and one other causes which occur every day, they become somewhat weakened in their nerve force.
 What is the result? Congestion or stoppage of the current Of blood in the small blood vessels surrounding them, which become blocked; these delicate membranes are irritated; inflammation Is Set up, then pus is formed, which col lects in the pelyis or sac; the tubes are at first partially, and soon are totally, unable to do their work. The pelvic | sac goes on distending with this corrup- tioR, pressing upon the blood vessels. | All this time, remember, the blood, which is entering the kidneys to be fil- tered, is passiRg through hiS terrible, dis | guSting pUs, for 1t cannot take any other route!
 Stop and think of it for a moment. | Do you realize the importance, nay the vital necessity, of having the kidneys in order? Can you expect when they are | diseased or obstructed, no matter how little, that you can have pure blood cad sScdpe disease? IL would be just as req sonable 10 expect, if pest-h were set across Broadway and countless thou sands were compelled to go through it's pesulentiai door, and escape from conta- zion and disease, as for one to expect the blood to escape pollution when con- stantly running through diseased kid ney.
 Now, what is the result? Why, that tho blood takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissue. flesh and bone, from your head to your feet. And whenever, from hereditary influence or oihewise, some part of the body is weaker than another, countless trail of diseases is established such as consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where there is delicate stomach; nervousness, insani:y, paralysis or heart disease il those who have weak nerves.
 Tue heart mus. soon .tGei ths elects Of Me poison, cS it requires pure blood 10 keep it ia right action. lC inc. eases its stroke in number and force tO compensate for the natural stimulus wanting, in its en- deayor 10 crowd the impure blood through thcis obstruction, causing pain, palp.tatiOn, or an out-of-broath feeling. Unnatural as this forced labor is, the heart mus soon Ialter, becoming weaker and weaker until one day it suddealu stops, and death from apparent "heart disease" IS tie verdict. A
 But the medical profession, learned and dignifed, cali these diseases by high ' sounding names, treat them alone, and patients die, for tbe arteries are carrgtao Sl0W deaih 10 Ne a5Ccted parts, constantly adding fuel brought from these suppurat- ing, pus-laGen kidneys which herein our wash-uowl are very putrefaction itself, and which should have been cured first.
 But this is not all the kidneys have to do; for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nouIisLment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste Oi the body which is constantly going on, waste equal to l the quantity taken. This. too, the kidneys have to separate from the blood | with all other deComposing matter.
 But you say, My kidneys are all | right. l have no pain in the back" Mistaken man! People die of kidney | disease oi so bad character that the | organs are rotten, and yet they have neuer there had c pdiH or on GcRe!
 Why? Because the disease begins, as we have shown, in the interior of the kidneys, where there are fe,O aerges oy feeling to convey the sensation of pain. Why this is so We may never know.
 When you consider their great work, the delicacy oi their structure, the ease with which they are deranged, can you wonder at the ill-health of our men and women? Health and long life cannot be 4.l
